From 11c0619c63b54346ee5c67cd67ab1ccb24f5f947 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: W-Mark Kubacki Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 18:49:36 +0200 Subject: Portage writes a compressed copy of 'Packages' index file. This behaviour is enabled by FEATURES="compress-index". The resulting file is 'Packages.gz' and its modification time will match that of 'Packages'. Web-servers use that copy to avoid repeated on-the-fly compression. In order to re-use 'atomic_ofstream' usage of 'codecs.zlib_codec' has been considered and discarded, because 'GzipFile' yields smaller files. (According to Mark's tests 62% smaller.) Example usage, Nginx: location =/Packages { gzip_static on; default_type text/plain; } Apache httpd (use with caution): RewriteRule ^(.*)/Packages$ $1/Packages.gz [T=text/plain,E=GZIP:gzip,L] Header set Content-Encoding gzip --- pym/portage/const.py | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'pym/portage/const.py') diff --git a/pym/portage/const.py b/pym/portage/const.py index ceef5c56b..c2049f871 100644 --- a/pym/portage/const.py +++ b/pym/portage/const.py @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ SUPPORTED_FEATURES = frozenset([ "assume-digests", "binpkg-logs", "buildpkg", "buildsyspkg", "candy", "ccache", "chflags", "clean-logs", "collision-protect", "compress-build-logs", "compressdebug", - "config-protect-if-modified", + "compress-index", "config-protect-if-modified", "digest", "distcc", "distcc-pump", "distlocks", "downgrade-backup", "ebuild-locks", "fakeroot", "fail-clean", "force-mirror", "force-prefix", "getbinpkg", -- cgit v1.2.3-1-g7c22
